(Configuration Scheme 1, Optional) Upgrading the NVMe Firmware

This section is required only when hardware configuration scheme 1 is used and the hardware decoding function of the encoding card needs to be enabled. If hardware decoding is not required, skip this section.

Before deploying the environment, check whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver and check the NVMe firmware version. If the version is different from that provided in this section, upgrade the firmware.

  1. Check whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver.

    nvme list
    

    If the following information is displayed, the codec card is correctly identified. The command output is only an example.

    If the firmware version (the FW Rev column) is inconsistent with the 4.8.F-scale firmware version, refer to the following steps to upgrade the encoding card firmware.

    About the NVMe firmware version: The larger the numbers and the later the letters, the newer the version.

  2. Optional: Extract the 4.8.F-scale firmware upgrade package from Quadra_VXXX.zip (XXX indicates the version number. Use the actual package name in the following commands) and upgrade the firmware.

    cd Quadra_FW_VXXX/
    chmod +x quadra_auto_upgrade.sh
    ./quadra_auto_upgrade.sh
    

    The upgrade takes about 1 minute.

  3. Optional: After the upgrade is complete, reboot the system for the upgrade to take effect.
